The Metal Thread [ARCHIVED} Genre • Page 1012

watching now

also haven't gotten there yet but thought fake pantera was actually pretty good when I saw them opening for metallica last month lol phil fucking sucks but I'm not gonna pretend that zakk wylde ripping the cowboys from hell riff didn't go hard

 

He could barely play it here

 

Yeah, I saw them 2-3 weeks ago and they sounded pretty good but today was rough sounding to me

 

David Draiman getting booed.. is music to my ears!!

 

This record rocks.

 

Any OG metalcore and mathcore fans? I didn't see Deadguy's new album posted anywhere.

Wild to reunite and put out such a ferocious follow up 30 years later

 

Snippets sound like a blend of early Between The Buried and Me and Rolo Tomassi with some emo-y moments, very intriguing

 

According to russian websites (generally well informed), Agriculture will release tomorrow "Bodhidharma", the upcoming album entitled "The Spiritual Sound" on October 3rd

 

Oooooo

 

New Agriculture single from the upcoming album

 

Going to the Summers Laughter tour and thinking it's going to be a dud.

I really wanted to see Malevolence and they dropped off and it's in a venue that's probably far too big for the lineup. I've never seen Hatebreed and I don't know any of the other bands (working to change that today), so meh. If I didn't already have tickets and was buying day off, I'd skip it.

 

Thanks to both of you (1 for posting and 2 for giving a RIYL). Promising start to the album and right up my alley.

 

The Summer Slaughter tour has a ton of great bands:
Fugitive (Members of Power Trip)
Gridiron
Incite

 

Yea, I just gotta dive into them all as I'm not familiar. I got a ticket for just Malevolence and to see Hatebreed who I've never seen. Still gonna go and hopefully am proven wrong and get some new bands in the rotation out of it.

 

Black Sabbath's final performance raised £140m, director says

That's a nice lump sum for the three charities.

 

Creeping Death was added to a few Summer Slaughter shows in/around Texas. I think Morbid Visionz is on a few dates now too.

I'm looking forward to the show Sunday. Gridiron, Fugitive, Creeping Death and Hatebreed is a pretty solid bill imo.

 

Lineup is so good. I'm trying really hard to get to the show on Sunday. We'll see if that pans out.

 

RE Summer Slaughter Tour

It was what I expected plus several other hiccups. 2200 cap venue and I'd say 500 people on the absolute most generous side so venue didn't feel right - wish this had been in a smaller cap.

Fugitive (who I got into throughout the day) - only played 2 songs due to:
- power outage as they were sound checking due to severe storms and then a prolonged sound check as things rebooted and failed to work properly.
- some guy fell and cracked his head open and had to get stretchered out to an ambulance so they ended their set after 2 and a half songs. Luckily the guy was awake and moving when he left. Apparently (and I wasn't close at the time to see), he was being an absolute drunkard, pushing and borderline fighting and he got shoved back and fell and cracked his head on the concrete floor. Was out cold for a good 15 minutes and when he left, you could see the back of his head split. Pretty scary and hope he's okay, though he left to a lot of jeers from those around him who once he was okay, were fine letting him know that it was his fault. Didn't see, don't want to judge, glad I didn't watch someone get paralyzed (or even worse) in front of me.

One of the more eventful shows I've been to. In the end I only saw Gridiron and Hatebreed.
Gridiron - Decent, not my style but they sounded okay.
Hatebreed - sound was off, way too trebly and I hated the drum snare sound, but they were tight and the stage rig and the lights were super cool (though they felt absolutely overkill in a half empty room). Seems like they've made their money, and continue to make money, and just play because they like it. They kept it positive, and rocked out for those that were there.

 

it is a Black Breath type of day

 

hell yeah, brother

 

Random anecdote about them, but around the time Heavy Breathing came out, I had a friend say "did you know Black Breath is just all the dudes from Shook Ones playing metal?" and I never bothered to look into whether that was true or not. I just believed it for an embarrassing amount of time.

 

Black Breath RSD vinyl box set is still one of my favorite releases of the last few years.
